November 2012

Randall Thacker, of Washington DC, has been elected Affirmation president for 2013. One hundred and thirty-two ballots were cast. Robert Moore, of San Francisco, received 29 votes; Randall Thacker received 103.

Ballots were opened and counted by the election committee, consisting of Corresponding Secretary Bruce Maughan, Affirmation co-founder Paul Mortensen, and Robert Jacob.

Randall Thacker, who lives with his partner in Washington DC, has been attending Affirmation events since 2005. In 2011 he planned the Kirtland Temple devotional and this past April he helped organize the “Circling the Wagons” conference held in Washington DC. In 2012 he served as Affirmation’s senior vice president and on the Seattle conference committee.

Affirmation has been electing its president (previously called "executive director") by direct vote of the members since 1993.
